Seed sowing method of red bayberry

Bayberry is a common fruit in our life, and bayberry can be seen everywhere in some places in the countryside, but bayberry is actually very easy to grow, and it does not need careful care. Of course, if we take planting bayberry as a career, it is not possible to let him grow freely.

Seed sowing method of red bayberry

Both wild and cultivated red bayberry seeds can be sowed and raised seedlings, and the germination rate of fresh seeds is the highest, but autumn sowing is often used in production. The specific steps are:

The seeds were collected by ①. When collecting seeds, wash the pulp on the surface of the seeds first. Spread the seeds in a dry and ventilated place to dry and store them in sand. Sow seeds in the field. Generally sowing in 10-12 months, sowing with multiple uses, the sowing rate is 200-250 kg per mu, then covered with a thin layer of 1 cm thick, then covered with straw or other shade to protect and moisturize.

② seedling management. After 80 days of sowing, the seedling emergence rate reached 50%-60 plants. after emergence, the seedlings were transplanted in late April with a row spacing of 10 cm-25 cm, which was beneficial to survival. After transplanting, the culture tube should be strengthened to promote the growth of seedlings. It is not suitable to apply fertilizer in the early stage. When the seedlings reach more than 30 cm from August to September, nitrogen fertilizer (1% urea) can be applied sparsely to promote growth. Drought should be watered to resist drought. After October, the seedlings are as high as 50 cm and o.6 cm thick, and can be grafted in the following spring.

Propagation methods of Waxberry

Red bayberry is a treasure in the fruit, which is rich in nutrition. Because of its high economic value, it has attracted many farmers to plant. The following introduces several common breeding methods of red bayberry for your reference, hoping to be helpful to you.

1. Striping propagation. Striping propagation can be carried out in spring, summer and autumn, but the propagation effect is the best in spring. Seedlings with foliage and fruit observation can be used. Generally choose a good variety of plants, first fill the soil under the canopy. Then carve 2 or 3 knives longitudinally at the bottom of the branch. Deep to xylem or annular peeling. 2cm wide, press the treated branches into the soil. Shallow irrigation with ABT1 rooting powder 800x liquid longitudinally engraved or peeled can promote early rooting. Then fill the 58 cm thick fine soil and pile up heavy objects such as stones on the fine soil to prevent the pressing branches from being moved by the wind. Generally, new roots can grow in the longitudinally engraved part in about 50-75 days. Before cultivating in the transplanting nursery according to the need, it can be cut off at 3-4 cm below the new root and then transplanted, and the seedlings can come out of the nursery after one year of cultivation.

2. Seedling propagation. Seedlings dominated by foliage. Most of them are cultivated by seedlings. The seeds of seedlings should be harvested on adult trees with strong growth. The seed germination rate is directly proportional to the nucleolus, so the fruit nucleolus of the seed tree should be examined when collecting seeds. A single plant with full nucleolus and fully mature nucleolus was selected for breeding. After harvesting, soak in water for 5-6 days until the pulp is rotten and washed, and remove the floating seeds, and then soak the seeds in 5% salt water for 10-12 days to sow the seedbed. The fertile and loose sandy loam should be selected in the seedbed. When sowing, strip sowing or sowing can be used, and the seeds can be pressed flat into the soil on the surface of the box. it is covered with a layer of fine soil 3 to 5 centimeters thick. The seeds can sprout and unearthed after a month. When the seedlings grow to about 8~l0 cm, interseedling or densification is carried out, and some human and animal dilute manure are applied to promote the robust growth of the seedlings, and the seedlings are formed after growing for about a year. It can be transplanted out of the nursery or used as a rootstock for grafted seedlings.

3. Grafted seedlings are propagated. In order to maintain the excellent characteristics of the varieties, the seedlings mainly focused on fruit were propagated by grafting. The grafting time should be in April. Generally, branch grafting is suitable. 2-3-year-old mature branches of mother trees with many fruits, good quality and strong growth should be selected as scions. 2-year-old seedlings transplanted once as rootstock, the rootstock is less than. 1 cm is commonly cut or subcutaneously grafted, and rootstocks greater than 1 cm can be split, embedded or ventrally grafted. The scion is 12 cm long. leave a section at the upper end and cut off the lower end. Because the red bayberry rootstock has a strong tip growth advantage. the sap of rootstocks increased more and faster after grafting. It is very easy to affect survival. In order to improve the survival rate, the following methods can be used to reduce the rate of sap rise of rootstocks:

① root cutting method. For small rootstocks less than 1 cm, the main root and part of the lateral root were cut off from both sides of the rootstock after grafting.

② remaining branch slow potential method. It is mainly used for small rootstocks less than 4 cm. First, grafting on the rootstock branches, leaving a small amount of branches as "diversion branches" to absorb sap, and then cut off about 30 days after grafting.

③ rootstock pruning in advance. The upper part of the rootstock was cut off 20 days before grafting. It can restrain the rise of tree sap and improve the survival rate.

④ rootstock ring cutting method. When the diameter of the rootstock is more than I.5 cm, two rounds of cross ring cutting is carried out 5 cm below the graft interface, and 30% of the cortex is retained in each round, which can significantly improve the survival rate.

Planting techniques of Waxberry

1. Transplanting time: red bayberry seedlings are about 10 cm high after they are unearthed and can be transplanted when they grow 4-5 leaves. Soil preparation and fertilization should be carried out in the nursery before transplanting. At the same time, 25 kg of lime should be applied on each mu of border or 600 times of topzine should be sprayed.

2. Transplanting method: when transplanting seedlings according to the specifications of row spacing of 30cm to 35cm and plant spacing of 8cm to 10cm, we should choose the morning and evening of cloudy or sunny days, and irrigate enough fixed root water, transplanting 1.2 ~ 14000 plants per mu.

3. Rational fertilization: red bayberry seedlings must wait for the root system to grow well and grow 4 or 5 new leaves before they can be poured with diluted human feces and urine (1 load of water plus 2 tablespoons of human feces and urine, 0.25 kg of urea), and then irrigate 2% ternary compound fertilizer or rare manure urine every half a month.

4. Tree management: the branches on the stem with a total trunk length of less than 1x2 were removed in time after planting. In the second year, three main branches could be equally divided in three directions. After the third year, the secondary branches were left on the main branch to make the crown form a natural happy shape, and the height was controlled at 2.5-3 meters.

5. Soil management: when planting red bayberry, we should timely remove weeds and loosen the soil, increase lime, adjust soil pH, supplement calcitonin for trees, and interplant green manure crops such as legumes and peanuts (avoid planting tall stalks and climbing plants) in the forest to increase soil biological cover.

6. Shoot control and flower promotion: when the crown of red bayberry is 2.0-2.5 meters high, the method of shoot control can be used to promote flower bud formation and achieve early fruiting and high yield. branch pulling, crown opening, relaxation of tree potential or soil application of paclobutrazol can be used to control shoot and promote flower from early October to late December.

7. Flower thinning and fruit thinning: plum trees combined with spring pruning to remove excess flower branches, especially weak flower branches, multi-flowering trees can be sprayed with bayberry flower thinning agent at flowering stage, and fruit thinning should be carried out according to the amount of fruit hanging on the tree body about 20 days after flowering.
